Hi,

#test being already your link, I would try without the "a" selector: $('#help').on('click contextmenu', function(event) {
$(this).attr('target', '_blank');

Make sure not keeping in user in contorl of the context menu is your best option (using target as part of your markup is not enough ?)

Hi zhyanadil,

According to your description, I couldn’t understand your requirement clearly.

Is your question “$(this).attr('target', '_blank');” not executed?

And do you mean right click to execute this code, or right click and click open new table to execute this code?

If I misunderstand your requirement, please post more details information about your requirement.

 
Best Regard,
